Job Description

Automotive Controller, CDJR | $120,000–$150,000 plus a net component bonus

Lead the accounting office for our CDJR dealership in a modern facility.

Cardinale Automotive Group is looking for an experienced Automotive Controller to oversee accounting for our Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (CDJR) dealership. A strong truck and SUV business keeps the office busy and varied, so it’s a strong fit for a controller who likes a full plate. You’ll lead a dedicated accounting team, produce the monthly financial statement, and work alongside dealership management to keep the store running smoothly. You’ll work in our modern facility, which opened just three years ago. As a single-location store, it’s a perfect fit for someone looking to grow as a controller.

We’ve been in business for more than 40 years and are recognized as one of the nation’s top-performing dealer groups. As we continue to grow, we’re looking for people who want to grow with us.

Why this role stands out

• Four brands, one stor e: Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram bring a broad mix of cars, trucks, and SUVs, and that variety builds a stronger resume.
• Collaborative leadership: you’ll work closely with dealership management and help shape how the accounting office runs.
• A modern facility: our three-year-old store gives you an up-to-date workplace and a strong base for making the office more efficient and paperless.
• Room to grow: a single store is the right size to sharpen your skills as a controller, and as a multi-store, multi-state group, we have room for you to keep growing from there.
• Benefits: medical, dental, and vision coverage, a 401(k) through Empower, an FSA, and company-paid life insurance.

What you’ll own

• Daily accounting operations and leadership of the accounting office team
• Accurate monthly financial statements and an on-time month-end and year-end close
• AP, AR, payroll coordination, bank reconciliations, and the general ledger
• Financial analysis that spots trends and turns them into recommendations for management
• Compliance with company policy, Stellantis manufacturer requirements, and internal controls
• Training and developing your staff into a sharp, accountable team

What you bring

• 5+ years of automotive dealership accounting experience, including supervising an office or team
• Strong command of dealership accounting, financial statements, and GL management
• Advanced Excel skills
• A track record of staying accurate in a high-volume store
• Sound judgment, discretion, and follow-through

Nice to have

• Reynolds & Reynolds DMS experience
• Stellantis (CDJR) financial statement experience
• Experienced controller or office manager looking for advancement
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
• Experience leading an office through a paperless transition
